Mystery Man Lyrics
Pieces of a dream
Candied at the seams
Tucked under my arm
As i heard the alarm
Woke up in a daze
Followed by a blaze
Of golden afternoon
I picked up my spoon
Put it to my lips
Chilled like a blade
Cuts Trough my cheek
The price i pay
A little bit closer
Try a bit deeper
Look under the sink
Cause there i am
Filled with plaster
The same fuckin bastard
I'm the mystery ma
Try and guess my color
More famous than other
Not oak or a wooden hue
But could you guess blue ?
Cool like sheets of sand
Wrinkled like my hand
Find it in the sky
Watching us when we die
A little bit closer
Try a bit deeper
Look under the sink
Cause there i am
Filled with plaster
The same fuckin bastard
I'm the mystery man
Why the gloomy face?
Was it a desgrace?
I was only joking
The debtes they all will fade
Consider them repaid
Oo lala la
Your stories are so old
They can be untold or sold
Candied at the seams
Tucked under my arm
As i heard the alarm
Followed by a blaze
Of golden afternoon
I picked up my spoon
Chilled like a blade
Cuts Trough my cheek
The price i pay
Try a bit deeper
Look under the sink
Cause there i am
Filled with plaster
The same fuckin bastard
I'm the mystery ma
More famous than other
Not oak or a wooden hue
But could you guess blue ?
Wrinkled like my hand
Find it in the sky
Watching us when we die
Try a bit deeper
Look under the sink
Cause there i am
Filled with plaster
The same fuckin bastard
I'm the mystery man
Was it a desgrace?
Consider them repaid
Oo lala la
They can be untold or sold

I'm 95% sure this song is about crystal meth.
Pieces of a dream Candied at the seam ('candy' being slang for meth)
Cuts through my cheek The price I pay (meth really fucks up your mouth)
Look under the sink Cause there I am (meth can be made using some common household chemicals)
But could you guess blue? (meth is often blue)
etc.
Pieces of a dream Candied at the seam Tucked under my arm As I heard the alarm
I woke up in a daze Followed by a blaze -Golden afternoon- So picked up my spoon And put it to my lips Chilled like a blade Cuts through my cheek The price I pay
A little bit closer Try a bit deeper Look under the sink Cause there I am Filled with plaster The same fuckin' bastard

The Mystery Man
A reference to Joseph Gervais? The infamous Hudson's Bay Company man?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Gervais
Jupiter One is a NY/NJ/Hudson Bay area band... so...
But sounds more like a repairman or plumber who just exists like a ghost wandering about fixing people's sinks. :-S
I think the joke is on us. We're not supposed to know who this Mystery Man is. Which is part of the intrigue. Almost like they're making us a lyrical map on where to find the treasure. So obviously in front of us, yet frustrated by never knowing.
Maybe that's the point?
I've never really figured this one out. Fill me in when you do... I'll probably find it amusingly sick. :-S
